About

Fire Station #10 in Chula Vista's Millenia community is a 13,435-square-foot, two-story facility at 1715 Millenia Avenue that became the city's first new fire station in 14 years when it entered service on May 22, 2020. The station's three-bay design houses Engine 60 and provides capacity for a future aerial truck and ambulance unit, extending CVFD's emergency medical reach into a high-growth corridor where lower-acuity calls often route patients to AFC Urgent Care Chula Vista rather than hospital emergency departments. Built at a cost of $8.1 million funded entirely by Development Impact Fees, the station features photovoltaic panels engineered to offset half its energy consumption, a Plymovent vehicle-exhaust extraction system to reduce carcinogen exposure, and high-speed roll-up bay doors paired with a traffic-light-controlled intersection for sub-60-second turnout times. The coverage area includes the Millenia and Otay Ranch master-planned developments, where Westmont at San Miguel Ranch generate a significant share of emergency medical calls for the aging population east of Interstate 805. Living quarters accommodate up to 10 firefighters across individual bunk rooms, single-occupancy restrooms, a fitness room, full kitchen, and two outdoor patios — infrastructure sized to support future staffing increases as Chula Vista's eastern population continues to expand toward buildout.
